The Fire Marshal from HellA Million Dollars in Counterfeit MoneyA Smell That Could Curl Rylly's HairRylly Barr needs one quiet summer to finish Phase 2 of her Haunted Island Resort. But quiet disappears fast when Gus is rushed to the pet hospital, a warning letter arrives from the state Fire Marshal, and a surprise inspection threatens to shut her dream down for good.Then the Fire Marshal shows up six days early.Upstairs, the attic has changed overnight. Boxes neither Rylly nor Kohler remember seeing crowd the shadows. Furniture once stacked neatly against the wall now sprawls in a tangled heap. And beneath it all is a sickening smell strong enough to curl Rylly's hair.When Kohler follows the stench to a hidden room built from empty boxes, he doesn't find a dead animal. He finds a dead girl-with marks around her throat.Now the inspection is the least of Rylly's problems. As the bodies begin to pile up, she must stay one step ahead of a relentless Fire Marshal, suspicious homicide investigators, and a killer who may already be hiding in plain sight. If Rylly, Gus, and Kohler can't uncover the truth in time, the Haunted Island Resort won't just be closed-it will become the scene of the next funeral.
